Ex-student pleads not guilty in Arizona campus explosion

PRESCOTT, Ariz. — A former Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University student has been indicted in an on-campus explosion in Prescott.

The Prescott Daily Courier reported 18-year-old James
Guy Levine of White Plains, N.Y., pleaded not guilty this week to nine charges,
including weapons and drug counts. He’s out of jail on $10,000 bond.

Prescott police said there were no injuries or property damage reported after
the April 23 explosion in a dorm parking lot.

Prescott police Lt. Ken Morley said the school’s security received a tip Levine
might have been involved and called police after finding suspicious items in his
dorm room. Police said Levine told them he had ordered chemicals online as part
of a water filtration project.
